Overview

  • Dunamu filed GIWA trademarks covering blockchain software, digital asset infrastructure, and related crypto technologies, including stylized logos.
  • A public timer on giwa.io expires Sept. 9, matching the start of the Upbit D Conference at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas.
  • Media reports and industry observers suggest GIWA could be a layer-1 or hybrid layer-1/2 network intended for on-chain apps or identity systems.
  • Upbit and Dunamu have not confirmed the project or shared technical details on official channels.
  • The prospective launch fits a broader move beyond exchange services, following a July Naver Pay partnership on a KRW stablecoin, and UDC 2025 features speakers including Eric Trump, Patrick McHenry, and executives from Tether and Ripple.
